Making new design sketches or even full-sized clay models is relatively cheap compared to the millions of dollars wasted when a carmaker decides to ditch a fundamental part of their already half-developed car, only start all over again. Yet the latter just keeps happening. »1/15/15 2:03pm 1/15/15 2:03pm

Both of these cars are as wide as a bus, come with supercharged V8s, heavy manual gearboxes and utterly useless stereos. The CCR is one of 14, while the Ford represents one third of the Mirage 720 population. »12/17/14 10:05pm 12/17/14 10:05pm

The Chinese government does not like its country's ultra-rich to show off their wealth. But their reach doesn't seem to cover Southern California, where the children of China's elite get to show off. How? With Lamborghinis and Maseratis, of course. »11/24/14 12:10pm 11/24/14 12:10pm

There was a time before top-speed records and hybrids when driving a supercar meant more than piloting technology. You didn't just drive one of these machines, you tamed one. The Ferrari F40 was the one of the ultimate supercars of its time, and it can be yours for only $1.2 million dollars. »9/22/14 12:44pm 9/22/14 12:44pm

There. I said it. Supercars, though incredibly engineered, beautiful, and amazing to drive, are fundamentally stupid. It's not really their fault; it's how they're used. The way most supercars are used is like using a Cray XK7 to check email. They probably have the worst ratio of capability to actual use of anything… »9/17/14 1:44pm 9/17/14 1:44pm

Even though I joke about the Bugatti Veyron—and don't like how, if you squint, its body looks like a flattened tent—I do concede it's a remarkable, if pointless, feat of engineering. »9/16/14 2:32pm 9/16/14 2:32pm

Life is hard for the average male exotic car owner. Not only does he have to deal with higher repair costs, steep depreciation curves, and abysmal fuel economy, but according to Doug DeMuro, it turns out women don't respond at all to his costly investment. Luckily, I found a Lamborghini owner who disagrees. Here's… »9/09/14 1:45pm 9/09/14 1:45pm

Today's supercars like the Porsche 918, McLaren P1, and LaFerrari do not compete in motorsports. There was a time, however, when the fastest street cars challenged each other at the most important sports car race in the world. »9/05/14 3:00pm 9/05/14 3:00pm

At some point, the stuff of your dreams (and if you're here, those dreams might just have side strakes and NACA ducts) gets old. One day, the all-conquering hero of yesterday's car rag crosses the depreciation threshold of your average income, no matter how many posters filled bedroom walls or pre-driver's license…»8/28/14 11:32am 8/28/14 11:32am

Of all the pointless new paint/new name special editions of the Veyron, only one really mattered: the 2011 L'Or Blanc. It was inlaid with porcelain, it cost $2.3 million, and it was a one-off, unique car. Until now. »8/21/14 12:00pm 8/21/14 12:00pm
